I just can't explain how adorable all the machines are. Father Servo's last form was so cute.

Finding myself flip flopping between normal and hard right now early on. Hard feels a little too brutal at times, with more than a few nearly 1 shot deaths. Normal feels too easy most of the time. Hoping maybe it's a gear thing and with a bit more gear and practice I can switch back to hard comfortably.

It's all about your chipset. Stacking defense, or stacking attack, or using utility stuff (like freeze time on dodge Overclock chip), or stacking Heal chips like I did (heal on enemy death, heal per second, heal per damage done). There's a lot of chips to match a lot of styles/combat the difficulty, so I'd recommend saving up for the Storage upgrades that the shop at the resistance camp sells.

playing as 9S or his hacking. His one weapon and slower attacking is I'm guessing to emphasize the hacking, but on regular enemies hacking is slower than just killing them normally, and on harder enemies the hacking is hard

Pop in on the pc version is fuccccccked

Try only setting AA or AO on. Not both at the same time. Seems to have fixed for a lot of people in the PC Performance Thread.

Can I remove the gray borders during cutscenes? Why are they even there? Is for subtitles?

Got a spear? Use a spear. If you hold the attack button he throws the spear harder and it does really good damage, especially if you're using an upgraded one/have attack up chips.

Does the game have unlockable extras like items, outfits constumes etc? The only costume I know about is the upcoming Gravity Rush one but isn't out yet. I thought the director promised many extras and costumes.

I don't know about any costumes but there are accessories you can find in the world, and also the stuff from the Day One edition. Those go in the Key Items section.

I always found the

Spoiler

hacking to be really quick when used intelligently. If you pick an enemy in the middle of a pack, the explosion usually takes a good chunk of health off everything around it. Granted I have some experience with bullet hell so it was usually a pretty quick thing to hack for me. I thought it was really cool to switch between shooting at enemies one moment, to popping inside of one to set off an explosion via hacking.

So I accidentally killed a robot with a green health bar in the desert cowering in front of an elevator...

Did I just completely screw something up?

Any ideas what that was?

Most of them are eventually. Stuff like beast hide you need to farm yourself. Pod upgrades are the ones that are a pain.

 

[NightShift]

It gives subtle hints at some point but just in case:

The weapon is in one of the stormwater tunnels and the pod is in the flooded city.

Went back to the factory to get the parts and sidequest there. How in the hell do I get out? I'm so lost.

 

[HeelPower]

The speed star quest is making me want to go on a machine killing rampage. I equipped all movement speed chips and use a speed salve and I still can't get even close to beating him.

The main issue is the horrible "course" you have to traverse which is full of jumps that ruin your speed, and climbing. Meanwhile he just floats really fast over everything. It's nonsense

2B or 9S?

This made me realize that there could some things better done as one character over another.

9S is definitely a slower runner than 2B.That race quest would be even harder then.

It's a bug. Happened to me last nite. Had to save, exit to title, and reload.

It is truly something else. I was caught of guard. And by off guard I mean I was super lit on an edible. The intro almost gave me a heart attack.

 

[Jake2by4]

This is one weird ass game and I love it. People werent kidding about the difficulty spike on normal.

 

[Yopis]

This game is so awesome.

 

[OniBaka]

And platinumed, is there any good wright ups on the first Nier? Don't think the video in the OT was enough for me.

 

[Exentryk]

I loved how the game organically made you check your brightness and other settings. So well done!
Also liked the ending of the supply guy's quest where

Spoiler

he doesn't want to lose his original leg

. It does seem like Taro will be touching

Spoiler

those deep philosophical questions. The machines seem to be like humans, and given the original NieR, I'm speculating the alien race probably turned humans into machines, and that we are actually just killing humans.

Anyway, interesting stuff! Also, I'm loving the combat. It is so fast and smooth, like wow! I was initially playing with a DS4, but the analog sticks had a lot of deadzones, so switched to the Razer Raiju and it's been heavenly responsive and smooth since.
And I don't even need to mention the music. I feel like if this continues, it might end up being the best OST ever made!

There's even more to this scene than that.

Game is so well wrapped up into its own universe.

 

[Trickster]

Is there any real reason to use a different weapon than the one with the highest attack that you have in each weapon category? Spend over 10 hours in the game now, and I just got a short sword type weapon that deal 60-80 dmg, while my starting weapon with just one lvl upgrade deals around 4 times that :|

 

[aravuus]

Alright, got all evening/night to myself. I'm gonna spend the next six hours playing this lol, despite the problems with the PC port.

Loving everything about it so far.

 

[Smilebomb]

It's a bug. Happened to me last nite. Had to save, exit to title, and reload.

What works for me is opening the quick item/weapon select menu (left side of the touchpad). It's also what causes the map to disappear for me in the first place.

 

[sappyday]

I just bought the game last night and I played the first section. I died by the time I reached the boss and now I had to redo the entire section. I'm sure there is a reason for this but it's really annoying.

 

[Yohane]

Just got at the start of Ending C (couple of hours in) loving it so far!

Normal is really really easy. Tried to switch to Hard but I found the enemy attacks hitboxes really unfair and hard to gauge!

Am I the only one?

Being able to do longer combos means keeping enemies stun-locked for longer and potentially doing more damage. Check the movesets and see how they fit with your playstyle.

Confession, i chose the weapons that i thought looked the coolest and had the coolest looking animations. Normal was easy enough to where i could get away with it lol.

 

[toastyToast]

Played about 4 hours now and I'm normal a bit easy as well. Is hard just hard or is there some BS to contend with?
